IP Address (Modifiable)
This field allows the IP address to be set for the 6C105 chassis. If an IP 
address is assigned to the 6C105 chassis all the interface modules 
installed in the chassis can be managed via this IP address, eliminating the 
need to assign an IP address to each interface module. To set the IP 
address, refer to 
.
Subnet Mask (Modifiable)
Displays the subnet mask for the chassis. A subnet mask “masks out” the 
network bits of the IP address by setting the bits in the mask to 1 when the 
network treats the corresponding bits in the IP address as part of the 
network or subnetwork address, or to 0 if the corresponding bit identifies 
the host. The 6C105 chassis automatically uses the default subnet mask 
that corresponds to the IP class that was entered in the IP address field. 
 describes how to change the 
subnet mask from the default value.
Chassis Date (Modifiable)
Contains a value that the chassis recognizes as the current date. When the 
chassis date is modified and saved all interface modules installed in the 
chassis are set to this date. To set a new chassis date, refer to 
Chassis Time (Modifiable)
Contains a value that the chassis recognizes as the current time. When the 
chassis time is modified and saved, all interface modules installed in the 
chassis are set to this time. To enter a new time, refer to 
Screen Refresh Time (Modifiable)
Contains the rate at which the screens are updated. This setting 
determines how frequently (in seconds) information is updated on the 
screen. To enter a new update time, refer to 
.
NOTE
When a valid IP address is assigned, the Subnet Mask field 
automatically enters the default mask that corresponds with 
class of IP entered in the IP Address field. Some firmware 
revisions do support changing the chassis subnet mask from 
the default value. Refer to your Release Notes to ensure that 
the Subnet Mask is a modifiable field.
